significant challenges, including the belligerent regime in
the North, a slowing economy and soaring welfare costs in

CANBERRA: Federal cabinet is expected to consider media
reforms when it meets today.
The package will include a code of ethics for journalists, a
tort of privacy and increased Australian content rules.
